Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a computed radiography (CR) system 10 for imaging an object 16. SOLUTION: A radiation source 12 is configured to irradiate a storage phosphor screen 14, and the storage phosphor screen is configured to store the radiation energy. An illumination source 18 is configured to illuminate at least a subarea of the storage phosphor screen to stimulate emission of photons from the storage phosphor screen. A two-dimensional (2D) imager 20 is configured to capture a two-dimensional image from the storage phosphor screen using the stimulated emission photons. The storage phosphor screen 14 is further configured to emit prompt emission photons upon irradiation, and the 2D imager 20 is further configured to receive the prompt emission photons from the storage phosphor screen 14.
